The mystery of the missing flu

I've posted several times about the mystery of the missing flu:  In an average year the flu kills over 50,000 Americans, but in 2020 the flu virtually vanished--a phenomenon noticed by many epidimiologists. 

Experts are baffled:  What would make the flu suddenly disappear as a significant killer?  No one in the "lockdown chorus" wants to acknowledge the obvious explanation:  that every death caused by flu has been wrongly attributed--deliberately--to the Wuhan virus.

You'd think some so-called "reporter" would be curious enough to ask the great fraud Fauci about this, and whether it's reasonable to believe that the flu has stopped killing Americans in significant numbers.  Of course that won't happen, since anti-Trump reporters want to see as many covid deaths as possible, so they can blame Trump.  Oh well... 

Of course liberals bleat that the claim that flu deaths have virtually vanished is...how do they put it?  Oh yeah: "debunked," like claims of election fraud.  "If the NY Times didn't report it, it never happened," eh?  Well, take a look:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's weekly influenza surveillance tracker reports that the cumulative positive influenza test rate from late September into the week of Dec. 19 stands at 0.2% as measured by clinical labs. That's compared to a cumulative 8.7% from a year before.

The weekly comparisons are even starker: This week one year ago, the positive clinical rate was 22%, where now it stands at 0.1%. 

Those low numbers continue trends observed earlier in the year in which deaths from the flu have remained at near-zero levels.
